问的时候,文殊菩萨说:有的,龙王娑伽罗的女儿,出生后八岁,智慧广大,根器敏锐,具有智慧、总持、三摩地和广大的愿力。面容含笑,容光焕发,具足殊胜,具有慈悲心,言语柔和,她能够成佛。智慧积说:如来释迦牟尼佛也为了无上菩提,在无数劫中精进修行。乃至像芥子那么小的处所,也没有不舍弃生命的地方,像这样以多种福德才得以成佛。她却能在短暂的时间内证得无上菩提,谁会相信呢?当时,那个女孩也在此处,向世尊顶礼,以偈颂赞叹说:我将像您一样成佛。舍利弗说:太奇怪了,你发起了不退转的菩提心,并且具有不可估量的智慧,但是圆满的佛陀是难以获得的。即使在无数劫中圆满了波罗蜜多,仍然有无法成佛的,因为女人还没有获得五种地位。哪五种呢?梵天之位、帝释天之位、四大天王之位、转轮圣王之位和不退转菩萨之位。说完之后,那个女孩将一个价值足以购买整个大千世界的宝珠献给了佛陀,佛陀慈悲地接受了。然后,龙女对智慧积和舍利弗说:我将宝珠献给世尊,世尊迅速接受,比这更快的是我将以神通成佛。说完之后,在所有世人和包括舍利弗在内的众目睽睽之下,那个女孩使女性的性器官消失,出现了男性的性器官,成为了菩萨,前往南方,在一个名为无垢世界的处所,在七宝树下成佛,以具足妙相的伟丈夫之身的光芒照耀十方。

When asked, Manjushri said: Yes, the daughter of the Dragon King Sagara, eight years old since birth, with great wisdom, sharp faculties, possessing wisdom, dharani, samadhi, and vast aspirations. With a smiling face, radiant complexion, possessing excellence, possessing a compassionate heart, speaking gentle words, she is capable of attaining Buddhahood. Wisdom Accumulation said: The Tathagata Shakyamuni Buddha also exerted diligence for countless kalpas for the sake of unsurpassed Bodhi. Even in a place as small as a mustard seed, there was no place where he did not give up his life; in such a way, he attained Buddhahood through many merits. Yet she can attain unsurpassed Bodhi in a short time, who would believe that? At that time, that girl was also present there, prostrated to the Bhagavan, and praised with verses, saying: I will attain Buddhahood like you. Shariputra said: It is amazing, you have generated the irreversible Bodhicitta and possess immeasurable wisdom, but a perfect Buddha is difficult to obtain. Even having perfected the Paramitas for countless kalpas, there are still those who cannot attain Buddhahood, because women have not yet obtained five positions. Which five? The position of Brahma, the position of Indra, the position of the Four Great Kings, the position of the Universal Monarch, and the position of the irreversible Bodhisattva. After saying this, the girl offered a jewel worth enough to buy the entire great chiliocosm to the Buddha, and the Buddha compassionately accepted it. Then, the Dragon Girl said to Wisdom Accumulation and Shariputra: I offered the jewel to the Bhagavan, and the Bhagavan quickly accepted it; even faster than that, I will attain Buddhahood through miraculous powers. After saying this, in the sight of all the world and including Shariputra, the girl made the female organ disappear and the male organ appear, becoming a Bodhisattva, and went to the south, to a place called the Immaculate World, where under a tree of seven precious jewels, she attained Buddhahood, with the light of the form of a great man endowed with marks and examples shining in the ten directions.

普遍地,此娑婆世界的众生都能看见教法。如来所教导的众生,都成了不退转于无上菩提的众生。如是说。又,在名为《慈氏狮子大吼》的《宝积经》中,大迦叶尊者向世尊禀告:世尊,在末世五百岁时,会出现多少伪装的菩萨?世尊开示说:迦叶,那些被恶友控制,胜解力弱小,贪图衣食的菩萨会大量出现。他们会努力用鲜花等供养如来的舍利。迦叶,我宣说供养是为了成办那些不具智慧者的善根。比丘们,要安住于寂静和调伏的行为中。婆罗门和有信心的居士则会供养舍利。听了这些话,那些愚蠢的人们舍弃瑜伽、苦行、闻法和诵经,专注于供养的行为。迦叶,如果菩萨将这个大千世界,从水聚到色界天之间,都充满油,并竖立如须弥山般的灯芯,以此供养如来,还不如具足殊胜意乐、安住于戒律的菩萨,从堪布或阿阇黎处听闻一句四句偈,并诵读,然后走七步所获得的福德更多。迦叶,如果菩萨用鲜花、焚香、香粉和香料充满这个大千世界,为了供养如来,在十万年里每天供养三次,晚上供养三次,还不如另一位害怕喧嚣,畏惧三界,渴望利益众生的菩萨,显着地趋向寂静处,迈出一步

Universally, the beings of this Saha world can see the Dharma. All the beings taught by the Tathagata have become irreversible from unsurpassed Bodhi. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the Dharma category of the Ratnakuta Sutra called "Maitreya's Great Lion's Roar," the great Venerable Kashyapa reported to the Bhagavan: "Bhagavan, in the last five hundred years of the degenerate age, how many sham Bodhisattvas will appear?" The Bhagavan instructed: "Kashyapa, many Bodhisattvas who are controlled by evil friends, have weak superior intentions, and are greedy for food and clothing will appear. They will diligently make offerings such as flowers to the relics of the Tathagata. Kashyapa, I have explained offerings for the sake of accomplishing the roots of virtue for those who lack wisdom. Bhikshus, abide in peaceful and disciplined conduct. Brahmins and faithful householders will make offerings to the relics." Having heard these words, those foolish people abandon yoga, asceticism, listening to the Dharma, and recitation, and focus on the act of making offerings. Kashyapa, if a Bodhisattva were to fill this great thousandfold world, from the mass of water up to the realm of Brahma, entirely with sesame oil, and erect a wick as large as Mount Sumeru, and offer a lamp for the sake of making offerings to the Tathagata, it would not be as great as the merit generated by a Bodhisattva who possesses excellent intention, abides in discipline, hears a single four-line verse from a Khenpo or Acharya, recites it, and then takes seven steps. Kashyapa, if a Bodhisattva were to fill this great thousandfold world with flowers, incense, powders, and perfumes, and offer them three times a day and three times a night for a hundred thousand years for the sake of making offerings to the Tathagata, it would not be as great as another Bodhisattva who fears and is frightened by the noise of activity, fears the three realms, and desires to benefit sentient beings, manifestly turns towards a solitary place, taking a step.

凡是舍弃七种(不善业)的行为,那将会产生更多的福德。 具寿应护,你对此有何想法?如来不是为了开玩笑或说话的目的而说这些话吧?你不应这样看。那是什么原因呢?因为这对我来说是显而易见的。 具寿应护,在过去无量无数极其无数广大无边不可思议不可估量的劫中,有如来名号为杂色花出现于世,他的寿命长达八劫,正法住世一劫。 在那个时候,有四大洲的转轮王,名叫无边,他有一千个儿子。在他的怀里,化生了两个孩子,名叫法和善法。 国王为了如来和比丘僧团,在八万四千年中,舍弃了一切其他的念头,用衣服、食物等殊胜的用品供养,在那几年圆满之后的第二天,如来用斋饭之后,法和善法两个孩子带着四个军队来到如来面前,以意念祈请说: 世尊,这位无边国王在漫长的时间里积累了如此众多的善根,是否还有其他能够胜过这种善根的善根呢?刚用意念祈请,身体礼拜,大地就剧烈震动。 然后,那位如来的侍者名叫难胜,询问大地震动的原因,如来回答说: 种姓之子,这样的话对你有什么用呢?如果说这两个孩子以什么样的意乐和甚深的忍耐修行以及大悲心触及如来的双足,那么包括天神在内的世界都会感到迷惑。 然后,那位如来对具有神通的无上无欲之子说: 你过来,叫这两个孩子过来,用你的神

Whatever action abandons the seven (unwholesome deeds), that will generate even more merit. Shariputra, what do you think about this? The Tathagata did not speak those words for the sake of joking or speaking, did he? You should not view it that way. Why is that? Because it is obvious to me. Shariputra, in the past, countless, extremely countless, vast, immeasurable, inconceivable, inestimable eons ago, there appeared in the world a Tathagata named Various Flowers, and the duration of his life was eight eons, and the holy Dharma remained for one eon. At that time, there was a wheel-turning king of the four continents named Limitless, who had a thousand sons. In his lap, two children named Dharma and Good Dharma were miraculously born. The king, for the Tathagata and the Sangha of monks, for eighty-four thousand years, abandoning all other thoughts, served them with excellent articles such as clothing and food. On the day after those years were completed, after the Tathagata had taken his meal, the two children, Dharma and Good Dharma, together with four divisions of the army, bowed before the Tathagata and requested with their minds, saying: "Bhagavan, this king Limitless has accumulated such a multitude of roots of virtue for a long time. Is there any other root of virtue that can surpass this kind of root of virtue?" As soon as they requested with their minds and bowed with their bodies, the great earth shook violently. Then, the attendant of that Tathagata, named Difficult to Conquer, asked what was the cause of the earthquake, and he replied: "Son of good family, what use is such a statement to you? If I were to explain with what kind of intention and profound patience these two children practice, and with what great compassion they touch the two feet of the Tathagata, the world, including the gods, would be bewildered." Then, that Tathagata said to the son of supreme non-attachment, who possessed miraculous powers: "Come here, call these two children over, and with your miraculous

当这样说的时候,爱无子用双手抱起那两个孩子,心想向上抛起,却连举都举不起来。然后,他施展广大神力和神通,心想向上抛起,但即使是那两个孩子的头发尖也无法摇动,即使整个大千世界的宇宙都摇动了,也无法抬起那两个孩子。然后,如来以大声闻的心,成就神通之力。爱无子使下方世界的如来佛土,如恒河沙数般震动摇摆,上下摇动,却连那两个孩子的头发尖端的部分也无法摇动。于是,爱无子对如来说:我难道是从神通力中完全退失了吗?为什么这两个出生不久的小孩子,连把他们放在一个狭窄的地方也无法移动呢?世尊开示说:爱无子,你并没有从神通中退失,但是菩萨的加持是不可思议的,不是声闻缘觉所能动摇或思量的。即使这个大千世界的所有众生都具有像你一样的神通力,他们都用无数劫的时间来施展各种神通,也不能抬起或移动这两个孩子。世尊如此说后,那个眷属中的四十二万众生都发起了无上菩提心,心想:即使菩萨没有获得一切智智,这些大声闻被压制,具有如此神通变化,真是太稀奇了,我们也要获得这样的加持和佛的智慧。然后,在那个眷属中,有一位名叫善慧的菩萨,他对如来说:请您抬起这两个孩子,并请您开示这两个孩子所提出的问题。然后,如来发出了响板的声音。

When this was said, the son of Sredmed took the two boys with both hands, thinking to throw them upwards, but he could not even lift them. Then, he generated great power and miraculous abilities, thinking to throw them upwards, but he could not even move the tips of the hair of those two, even though the entire universe of the great chiliocosm shook, he could not lift those two boys. Then, the Thus-Gone-One, holding the mind of a great Shravaka and accomplishing the power of miracles, the son of Sredmed moved and shook the Buddha-fields of the lower direction as many as the sands of the Ganges River, moving them up and down, but he could not even move a part of the tips of the hair of those two boys. Then, the son of Sredmed said to the Thus-Gone-One: Have I not completely fallen from the power of miracles? Why is it that these two small children who have not been born for long, even putting them in a narrow place, I cannot move them? The Blessed One said: Son of Sredmed, you have not fallen from your miracles, but this blessing of the Bodhisattva is inconceivable, not easily disturbed or conceived by Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas. Even if all the sentient beings of this great chiliocosm were endowed with the power of miracles like you, and all of them performed various forms of miracles for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, they could not lift or move these two boys. When the Thus-Gone-One said this, forty-two hundred thousand beings in that assembly generated the mind of unsurpassed enlightenment, thinking: Even though the Bodhisattva has not obtained the omniscient wisdom, it is wonderful that these great Shravakas are subdued and possess such miraculous transformations, we too shall obtain such blessings and the wisdom of the Buddha. Then, in that assembly, there was a Bodhisattva named Good Intelligence, who said to the Thus-Gone-One: Please lift these two boys and please show the distinction of what these two have asked. Then, the Thus-Gone-One made the sound of a hand drum.
